The aim of this article is to propose a multi-objective decision-making method for researching and solving multi-attribute heterogeneous group decision-making problems. This is in the case that the characters of the decision information and decision makers' preferences are heterogeneous, and the weight information is incomplete. In this method, the multi-objective decision-making model, which considers the alternatives decision relative closeness and the preference of heterogeneous degree of decision makers in the objective function, is put forward. In addition, this article uses the minimax method to derive the multi-objective decision-making model and obtain the attribute weights and decision makers weights, and then the optimal scheme is established. Finally, an illustrative example shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a group decision-making model using a distance aggregator based on Ordered Weighted Distance (OWD) which offers a solution that can reduce disagreement between decision makers (DMs). This paper discusses decision rules and sets out measures to evaluate compensatory effects that have a bearing on DMs’ opinions. The model uses formulations of distances to reveal the differences in opinion among DMs and discusses the meanings of distance and the information presented by each DM. Finally, a case study of a logistics problem is used to illustrate how the model is applied.

Abstract In this paper we investigate the dynamic multi-attribute group decision making problems, in which all the attribute values are provided by multiple decision makers at different periods. In order to increase the level of overall satisfaction for the final decision and deal with uncertainty, the attribute values are enhanced with generalized interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy numbers to cope with the vagueness and indeterminacy. We first define the Dynamic Generalized Interval-valued Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers Weighted Geometric Aggregation (DGITFNWGA) operator and give an approach to determine the weights of periods, using the probability density function of Gamma distribution, and then a dynamic multi-attribute group decision making method is developed. The method proposed employs the Generalized Interval-valued Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers Hybrid Geometric Aggregation (GITFNHGA) operator to aggregate all individual decision information into the collective attribute values corresponding to each alternative at the same time period, and then utilizes the DGITFNWGA operator to aggregate the collective attribute values at different periods into the overall attribute values corresponding to each alternative and obtains the alternatives ranking, by which the optimal alternative can be determined. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the approach developed.

The environmental decision problems often are divisive, even in a technical realm, decision makers with strong personalities influence outcomes. The purpose of this study is to define and quantify the factors that affect the conservation objectives of a national natural park located in Colombia, South America adding the judgments of six decision makers with different knowledge (every decision maker is also a stakeholder representative). This paper uses a hybrid multiple criteria group decision-making model (MCDM), combining the social network analysis (SNA), analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and similarity measures to solve the consensus and anchoring problem among environmental decision makers. The SNA technique is used to build an influential network relation map among decision makers and to obtain their weights for applying a weighted AHP. Then, the final decision matrices for every decision maker are compared between them in order to identify the consensus level of the problem.

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) is a flexible method to deal with uncertainty and fuzziness. For the past few years, extensive researches about the multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems based on IVIFSs has been extensively studied in many fields. In this study, the Taxonomy method based on IVIFSs (IVIF-Taxonomy) was proposed for MAGDM problems. For the sake of the objectivity of attribute weight, entropy is introduced into the proposed model. The IVIF-Taxonomy method fully considers the weight of the decision makers (DMs) and the homogeneity of the chosen alternatives, making it more realistic. In addition, we apply IVIF-Taxonomy method to fund selection to verify the validity of IVIF-Taxonomy method. Finally, the trustworthy of IVIF-Taxonomy method is proved by comparing with the aggregate operator, IVIF-TOPSIS method, IVIF-GRA method and modified IVIF-WASPAS method.

Group decision making (GDM) problem based on different preference relations aims to obtain a collective opinion based on various preference structures provided by a group of decision makers (DMs) or experts, those who have varying backgrounds and interests in real world. The decision process in proposed question includes three steps: integrating varying preference structures, reaching consensus opinion, selecting the best alternative. Two major approaches: preference transformation and optimization methods have been developed to deal with the issue in first step. However, the transformation processes causes information lose and existing optimization methods are so computationally complex that it is not easy to be used by management practice. This study proposes a new consistency-based method to integrate multiplicative and fuzzy preference relations, which is based on a cosine similarity measure to derive a collective priority vector. The basic idea is that a collective priority vector should be as similar per column as possible to a pairwise comparative matrix (PCM) in order to assure the group preference has highest consistency for each decision makers. The model is computationally simple, because it can be solved using a Lagrangian approach and obtain a collective priority vector following four simple steps. The proposed method can further used to derive priority vector of fuzzy AHP. Using three illustrative examples, the effectiveness and simpleness of the proposed model is demonstrated by comparison with other methods. The results show that the proposed model achieves the largest cosine values in all three examples, indicating the solution is the nearest theoretical perfectly consistent opinion for each decision makers.

The green supplier selection is one of the popular multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems. The spherical fuzzy sets (SFSs) can fully express the complexity and fuzziness of evaluation information for green supplier selection. Furthermore, the classic MABAC (multi-attributive border approximation area comparison) method based on the cumulative prospect theory (CPT-MABAC) is designed, which is an optional method in reflecting the psychological perceptions of decision makers (DMs). Therefore, in this article, we propose a spherical fuzzy CPT-MABAC (SF-CPT-MABAC) method for MAGDM issues. Meanwhile, considering the different preferences of DMs to attribute sets, we obtain the objective weights of attributes through entropy method. Focusing on the current popular problems, this paper applies the proposed method for green supplier selection and proves for green supplier selection based on SF-CPT-MABAC method. Finally, by comparing existing methods, the effectiveness of the proposed method is certified.
